Einden: Pioneer in Digital Asset Management

Einden (Studio) was created in December 1998 as the internet began to revolutionize the business world. Based in Châtellerault, the company meets the needs of its clients searching for innovative and differentiating web communication tools to enhance their online presence. Einden and its team then gained expertise in developing applications and processing images in all forms.

The exponential production of digital data used daily by businesses and public actors made the use of computerized management tools essential. The goal: to organize and streamline each phase of the media lifecycle: creation, sharing, distribution, and archiving.

Since its launch in 2007, the full web photo library software "ePhoto" has been highly successful due to the intuitiveness of its interface and its innovative nature. The following year, the company accelerated and launched a SaaS offer.

In 2011, with the support of BPI France, Einden developed ePhoto 3. A version that marked a turning point for the company: a major evolution of the interface, geolocation, facial recognition, contact sheet editor, fine management of rights, and sharing and distribution on social networks. Version 3 innovated with numerous features. The last update, 3.13, was released in June 2020.

ePhoto extended the scope of the features offered and became Ephoto Dam, one of the leading solutions in France in the field of Digital Asset Management (DAM).

In 2021, Einden launched version 4 of Ephoto Dam. The particularity of this version lies in its ability to bring together different users in a unique collaborative space. With great modularity, workflow features, and numerous extensions, teams participate in enhancing media. The last update, 4.1.2, was deployed at the end of 2023.

On October 26, 2024, version 5.0 was launched, a major release that took over a year of work. Ephoto Dam then became one of the most complete offers in the French DAM market. The Front Office offer was entirely rewritten. The user experience and interface were completely redesigned to meet new uses. New extensions are offered, notably for graphic design (Figma and Canva), content management (Office 365, Google Workspace, Prestashop, Akeneo), and project management with the monday.com extension. The Back Office also improved with support for 3D files and new modules like Mass Indexing and Catalog.

With a team of 25 collaborators and unique expertise in digital media management, Einden currently has more than 350 clients in France, Switzerland, and Belgium.
